Case report reveals focal motor seizures from rheumatoid meningitis, indicating CNS involvement in rheumatoid arthritis.
We describe a 65-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis presenting with focal motor seizures and progressive right frontoparietal leptomeningeal enhancement. Biopsy was consistent with an inflammatory process. He improved with corticosteroids and rituximab. Our case highlights consideration of CNS involvement of rheumatoid arthritis in patients presenting with new neurologic symptoms.
